You need an outside antenna or a good window for the regular antenna that comes with the unit. It must have a southern view. I needed to do that at 2 locations in on my property. As long as you have the antennas set up with a good southern view of the sky, you should be able to get a good signal.

Am not sure. Suspect it would depend on what equipment you are using to drive the signal and atmospheric conditions. I can say this....I live in East Texas and receive 'SKIP' transmissions from as far away as Florida, New York, Maine, Washington, and Puerto Rico !! The antenna is capable of receiving messages for your requirement. Transmitting would depend on your equipment.

We are getting stations in the red and blue zone, plus one that does not show up as one that we should be able to receive. We have the antenna mounted on the chimney of a 2 story house and live in a hilly area. Have to adjust direction when it was mounted. Has been working well.

I really don't know - so far I've only programmed it to receive stations, i.e. those with actual URLs, not feeds for particular programming. Grace Digital seems to monitor these reviews so perhaps they'll chime in with a definitive answer.

I think this radio doesn't show historical messages. I know that whenever the National Weather Service issues more than one message, all messages that are in effect are displayed in a continuous, scrolling motion, but only while in effect. This radio does not have a way for you to scroll through messages yourself

mine never worked brand new out of the box, there is a group of us that go off-roading and we are always pretty close and it would not transmit or receive it was just all static. the weather radio works on it though. would not buy again

In order to get reliable reception, he needs to buy a separate car kit for each vehicle. Thats what I did and it works fantastic. Just slide it in the cradle of whatever he is driving Pay one subscription and have xm in multiple vehicles. The antenna on it works best with open sky above. Not reliable with any kind of obstructions like roofs, trees, mother ships.

I don't know. I sent it back because the shortwave channels didn't work well for me here in Phoenix.

I can only tell you that the radio does it's weather job, trouble free. You question appears to be of t technical nature which would be better answered by Midland Radio. I suggest you contact them at midlandradio.com. They have a technical department that I' sure can handle you question. Good Luck

Aloha Florida -- Out here in Kauai, Hawaii we don't get any stations either... Maybe they only transmit during weather emergencies??? We'll try again during hurricane season... Aloha...

I bought this unit a couple of years back. It came with a XM weather receiver. I don't know which model receiver since I don't use the weather services through XM

No, I have been tried with my F5 on 129 but it doesn't download the channels.. On 110 and 119 it still freezing. Please Help for me too

Yes, you got a lemon. I am able to receive FM broadcast stations clearly 50 miles from the tower. Check your antenna connection. Clean the contacts well where the antenna threads into the radio with IPA.

I just ran through the SW bands again - it is now 9:30ish pm ET and I got 25 good stations. Either my location is better, or my radio is just a lucky example and the quality control was not good. My USB and SD card slots work - both in stereo. I am sorry yours isn't performing as well.

The TYT9000 will transmit anywhere between 136-174 MHz. There is a transmit-disable function in the menus to prevent such unlicensed operations. Mine is set up to hear the local emergency services but not transmit on them. Also the weather channels, same way. If I were to be illegal, I could leave transmit enabled on the MURS & Marine channels. If I wanted to be illegal about it.Nils YoungW8IJN
